Lately, I have been. I have been reading out loud every day for about an hour every day. I've picked up a lot of things doing that and I have really slowed down my speech rate and I am starting to really tell a difference in my speech. I am also trying to pick up the phone and call about 20 businesses a day and ask them when they close or stuff like that. At first, I was terrified of the phone, but now it is becoming almost second nature and I am hardly stuttering at all on the phone. Nothing can be lost by giving yourself self-therapy.
